Festive Candle Making Workshops: Trio of Votive Candles     

20 November & 21 December | 10:30 – 12:30  

Create your own Christmas magic with our festive candle making workshops.

Join us for a festive session of candle-making and discover the joy of crafting your own unique Christmas scents. Our expert guide, Ursula from Wax and Willow, will lead you through the process of creating a trio of votive candles, from wicking to final presentation. 

Immerse yourself in a world of seasonal fragrances, inspired by crisp winter mornings, soft snowfall, juicy berries, forest pine, and the classic blend of mandarin, clove, and spices. We'll guide you through the art of melting creamy soy wax and infusing it with your chosen Christmas scents. To complete your festive set, you'll also have the opportunity to make delightful wax melts that are perfect for gifting. 

As your candles set, enjoy a relaxing break with refreshments while decorating your presentation boxes with elegant silver leaf, and a selection of festive ribbons and decorations. Leave the workshop with a beautiful gift box containing three votive scented candles (each burning for approximately 13 hours) and a clamshell of fragrant wax melts – a truly personalized Christmas treasure. 

£49 per person | 10% off for Leonardslee members 

Garden Entry Included | Parking information | Tea, coffee, mulled wine and mince pies provided throughout the workshop
